At Clinique dentaire Angrignon, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Courtel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Courtel with concerns about their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, making a positive and lasting return to their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life not just possible, but highly feasible.
• If a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively is preventing you from fully enjoying playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort or causing discomfort, Dr Courtel offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Understanding the frustration a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing can cause, Dr Courtel tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• A key objective when treating their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) at Dr Courtel's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Courtel, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Courtel is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Courtel promptly.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Angrignon.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Courtel?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Courtel for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire Angrignon.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Courtel for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Courtel will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Courtel's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Courtel at Clinique dentaire Angrignon?

At your initial appointment, Dr Courtel and the team at Clinique dentaire Angrignon will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Courtel will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Courtel will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Courtel typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Courtel is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
